Costuming my 3rd play with The West Yorkshire Drama Academy performing in the Quarry at West Yorkshire Playhouse. It was a minimalistic production, set 1914-1918. Another emotional pieces written by cast members. They portrayed various personal and family traumas during the time of the World War One. Including; a priest, British army differently ranks, british nurses, flush mill owners, factory workers. it also had a movement piece and moving vocals by the fantastic Laura.

The company I'm working for did a charity catwalk for help for heroes . There was different military and civilian costumes from the 1940s. Dobcross hosts a 40s memorial weekend basically because they filmed Yanks there in the 70s! But it was all good fun & I got to rummage threw B Authentic's collections and put together my own outfits. I'm dress here in a 1940s Women's voluntary Service uniform. Seen with my little mate Declan who's got his adorable his evacuee uniform on.
